“The Book of Revelation may touch off delusion--or moral passion worthy of the Hebrew prophets. Seeing it as a puzzle with a final answer makes interpretation an exercise of (delusion-prone) ego. But if the book itself contains colliding points of view, and if interpretation is a never-final dialogue, then Revelation becomes a call to worship and witness, repentance and justice. The author makes this latter case, and makes it brilliantly.”
